This week also brings the final chapter of the Spanish romance trilogy, Culpa Nuestra, along with the live-action debut of How to Train Your Dragon.

Bhagwat Chapter 1

Bhagwat Chapter 1 is a psychological thriller set in Robertsganj, Uttar Pradesh. The film focuses on Inspector Vishwas Bhagwat (Arshad Warsi), who attempts to solve the kidnapping of a young woman. 

His search quickly exposes a local run of missing girls. Bhagwat’s exhaustive investigation leads him to Sameer (Jitendra Kumar), a serene vocational professor whose bland appearance appears to hide a deeper, darker personality

Bhagwat's thorough search brings him in contact with Sameer (Jitendra Kumar), a placid vocational educator whose mundane looks seem to conceal a more complicated, even sinister, character. The movie is a gripping chase, like that of a cat and mouse, between the dogged detective and the spine-chilling villain.

How to Train Your Dragon

The fans of How to Train Your Dragon are excitedly waiting to watch the live-action adaptation of the animated movie. The story takes place on the Viking island of Berk, a place where dragons and Vikings have been fierce foes for many years. The story centers on the main character, Hiccup (Mason Thames), the chief's young, imaginative, and rule-breaking son, who befriends an injured, unique Night Fury dragon and calls him Toothless.

Their unexpected relationship puts to the test the very pillars of the Viking community. With the rise of an old, colossal dragon named the Red Death as a menacing factor, Hiccup, Toothless, and Astrid (Nico Parker), Hiccup's girlfriend, are the ones who have to show that the Vikings and dragons have enough common ground to unite in the future.

Final Destination: Bloodlines

Following the franchise's formula, a character has a terrifying premonition of a disaster and saves a group of people. However, Death's Design (fate) then begins to claim the survivors in elaborate accidents to restore the natural order.

The movie narrates the story of college student Stefani Reyes (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) who discovers a family secret: the curse related to a 1969 tragedy. Her grandma, Iris, stopped the curse. Besides, Stefani has been having nightmares, and she has to keep breaking Death's cycle to rescue her relatives. The legend Tony Todd, a franchise veteran, is back in the role of the embalmer William Bludworth.

To sum up, the week's watchlist covers a wide range of genres. The Hindi language film, Bhagwat Chapter 1: Raakshas (ZEE5), is a mouse-and-cat crime thriller starring Arshad Warsi and Jitendra Kumar. Along with this release comes the India-premiere of the prize-winning social drama Santosh (Lionsgate Play).
